MS-01

Low profile, no external power and single slot would be awesome for a Minisforum ms-01 or ms-a2, but I guess we're stuck with Frankenstein cards if we really want that.

And I thought I was paranoid, when I replaced the external PSUs of 4 Minisforum MS-01 with something better the moment I got them. (this also means I have the original PSUs as spares if one dies).

Too many I/Os has been skimmed off to the point that it has no advantage over an cube size Mini PC. You can easily find a

minisforum ms-01 has been running months 24/7 and some kind of noise started to come, quite loud maybe cpu fan

That’d be amazing! Quite curious about the following: CPU temperature and noise If the SATA controller is assignable (on a seperated vfio) Speed of the devices I run a minisforum MS-01 but it’s just getting so hot
